UN committee says glyphosate not likely to cause cancer

UN 2 logoAnother report finds the weed-killer glyphosate is not likely to cause cancer. The latest findings come from a safety review by health, agriculture and food experts from the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization, along with the World Health Organization. The review concludes glyphosate is “unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk to humans” who become exposed to glyphosate through food. The weed-killer is commonly used on farm crops and in gardens. The review joins the latest in a list of similar findings following a conflicting review by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The IARC claims glyphosate is a likely carcinogen to humans. A report by Reuters says the conflicting reports further complicate the argument between the IARC and environmental regulators with the European Union and the United States.
